Am I overreacting?

I would feel the same as you do.  The problem is that some people just don't get it when it comes to epilepsy.  The only burden is that you broke your wrist.  This can happen to anyone.  It had nothing to do with your seizures, but they act like they understand.  They act like they have your best interest in mind, but they don't.  You need to stand strong to them.  If you can't, such a broken wrist, its time to take a break from the family so you don't seem like you're a burden to them.  Its tough, but unfortnately, the stigma is too great. 

Hi Kathy781, Social Workers have often stuck their noses into what they label my overreacting & underreacting to the conduct of my family members and to the conduct of medical providers & the social workers themselves. The judgment between labeling behaviour between overreacting & underreacting seems to be near totally subjective, as, at times, two different social workers can issue totally opposite conclusions based on the identical evidence from a same occurrence. This was a problem for me in my youth, as "experts" would assign their subjective judgments being in conflict with that of their colleagues as an internal disorder in my psychology. In my adult years, I now most often label such nonsense from experts as more instances of "Catch-22". Sometimes, "The Peter Principle" is a simple explanation for the experts' ineptitude, but at times, with more evidence, simple meanness is apparent. One of my "underreacting" stigmas involved my walking three-fourths of a mile, up & down a minor valley. One time when I made the walk in very hot weather, with my chilled Gatorade ready before the return trip, the experts called the police on me for my endangering my health by my making the walk, and they "investigated" my relatives for allowing such and for not providing me transportation. Another underreacting stigma involved the same short walk destination, but this time during cool & rainy weather. I relied on an umbrella and plastic raincoat, but the experts then felt that this was a case for Adult Protective Services, who then investigated and interrogated me and my relatives for my alleged self-abuse and my allegedly being abused by relatives. Lastly, when they asked me if I would appreciate my relatives giving me a ride for the short trip during foul weather, I said it would be nice if they could, but then, my labeled underreacting became labeled overreacting, and then they introduced the old concept of "learned helplessness" into the situation. One more recent labeled overreaction involved a social worker demanding that I immediately drive my 85 year old relative home & with my power of attorney, some 20 miles or so. I said I didn't drive because of my epilepsy, to which the worker sarcastically asked me how I arrived where I was presently at if I didn't drive. When I answered "by bus", she went ballistic, and minutes later, after a barrage of threats both physical and non-physical to me after I inquired about compliance to the ADA, which was labeled as my "overreaction", and my relative removed by force from my presence against her will, I was advised that I was trespassing on private commercial property, and as I was utilizing egress on foot from their parking lot onto the public sidewalk, re-initializing locations for my record with GPS matching audios/times/locations, I was "told" not to return under threat of prosecution. The Federal & State governments must regard my seeking formal protection under the ADA from the overt epilepsy discrimination revealed by response to "my not driving because of epilepsy", and under other relevant laws, as my "overreacting", since the 180 days are about to exhaust, though time is no expense to the governments in generating the least untruthful explanations for exonerating blatant conduct of Medicare/Medicaid funded medical facilities involving epileptics. Tadzio P.S.: Snowden is a minor character overreacting to his own dying in the novel "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller, abandoned to profitable medical neglect so private enterprise could make another fast buck off of expropriated government Morphine. Even action that is "callous, meddlesome, mean-spirited, officious, overbearing, and vindictive" is not enough to meet the outrageous conduct standard required for claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress. What is enough is "circumstances bordering on serious criminal acts", as also nears civilly Texas's "Ring of Hell" standards.
